Summary

AGE-ON is a series of workshops developed by the Regional Geriatric Program central, based in Hamilton, Ontario. The goal of these workshops is to teach older adults with limited computer knowledge how to use tablet computers to connect with friends and family and gather information related to issues of importance to them. The overwhelming positive response to three initial pilots proved the interest in such a program from seniors in the community. Preliminary feedback from program participants was collected as part of the initial pilot; the investigators would now like to use this feedback to improve the existing workshops and expand implementation of the program to a diverse population of older adults. The objective of this study is to conduct a formal mixed-methods evaluation of the updated AGE-ON workshops implemented at multiple community-based sites.
